Admissions
If you intend to apply for a master’s degree the college minimum requirement is a UK Lower Second Class Honours degree. The majority of courses have higher requirements, usually a minimum of a UK Upper Second Class Honours. They also accept a wide range of international qualifications.
For admission to a PhD, MPhil, MD (Res) or EngD research program the College would normally expect you to hold or achieve a master's degree, in addition to a bachelor's degree at UK Upper Second Class Honours level.
For entry requirements relating to a specific master’s degree, see their online course pages.
All entry requirements reflect the minimum requirement needed to be considered for admission. They often ask for higher than their minimum requirements, due to the demanding and competitive nature of their programs.
Meeting academic requirements does not guarantee entry, it is only one of the factors taken into account when selectors make their decision: other factors such as suitability for the course, proficiency in English (you will need to have passed a College-approved English test to the standard set out in the requirements for your course of interest), relevant work experience and references are also important.
Language support
While all of their degree courses are taught in English, the College offers a number of resources to students whose first language is not English through their Centre for Academic English, including:
- Pre-sessional English language courses before they start at the College
- English language classes for undergraduates and exchange students, Master’s students and PhD students once they start their course
- a language pairs scheme
Tuition fees
Fees vary by course and year of entry. For more information, see their Fees and Funding website.
The College offers 50 President’s PhD scholarships for high-performing students, but consult their scholarships search tool for more information about further funding opportunities worth exploring.
